Thank you for the well wishes, Takowa. I am striving to do more well, every day, in 2021. Too often I foolishly dismissed feedback I received. Nowadays it can be a challenge to even recruit employees where I work to test my stuff. Thanks for jumping in as a collaborator all those years ago! It is becoming clearer to me that eager collaborators are invaluable, professionally, too.

@Iruini Nuva I would certainly be interested to see that stuff! My old self checked this board almost every single day to scrounge for new topics, screenshots, and demos. When The Insurgent and Havoc dropped, it must have been like European first contact with the Japanese; I don’t think I’d ever seen so many particles and lighting effects in any non-commercial product before! Speaking of design documents, @Emzee, the Influx ones you posted really got me fired up! Years ago, after I read Swords and Circuitry, I was totally scribbling storylines and decision trees onto scratch paper under dim light into the night, expecting them to eventually materialize into documents like your “Introduction.docx” and “Part One.docx.” But then I had to finish some stupid homework assignments instead, or I got bored or something. Good point. We can extend that “weekend” time estimate by a few months for QA, re-learning C++, and patching the browser engine. Also, congrats to everyone on their in-progress or completed computer science degrees.

Guess I’m not the only one with fond memories of those imaginary worlds we created. Glad to have been a part of Cyan. I put the experience on my resume. Did you know that some maniac recreated the RM2k(3) engine for web browsers? I think it actually works, too: Demo / Docs So, if one needed a weekend project, it would probably be possible for our old games to be made playable instantly via a web link.

Geodude used Explosion! Dratini avoided the attack! Geodude fainted!

... I'll try that!

For some reason I have this strong urge to design one. I'm serious, it would have so many shades of pink and bright blue that everyone who looked at it would have no choice but to contradict my choice of style.

It would be magic if you could fold that thing up and put it in your pocket / backpack / glove department, etc.

"Check out these abs! I think I've just about got them pink!" "Alright, class, we're going to pink pieces of paper and use them to decorate the walls!"

The old one was making this horrible humming noise whenever we'd turn it on, we were constantly having to change the bulb, and at times we were unable to even start it up. R.I.P our old television. AND HELLO 47 INCHES 1080P 120HZ LG! Seriously, the jump from 60Hz to 120Hz is huge. Everything looks so realistic and every movement is so fluid... I've heard that Blu-ray looks really good on it, too. Still yet to test that out.

He (or, "it") inspires rebellious thoughts of cultural reform. "Who or what is Santa Claus, and who is he to us? How do we actually perceive him? How or how not is he 'real'?" Reform becomes increasingly inevitable as we take into consideration the position that "Santa" has been adopted into in society. An ethical-incentive figure who exists for the purpose of rewarding children for their good behavior? Or a mall attraction which exists in order to generate revenue, and/or one who indirectly encourages the consumption of consumer goods? This picture depicts the condition of Santa; the concept behind him has degraded so that he now assumes a role such as to the one presented.

He defies the norm and usual expectations of society in pursuit of breaking the mold and expressing new ideas as opposed to following the uniform thought patterns commonly accepted.

Well, yeah. Garbage-pop sucks, but the good pop is pretty good.

I hate it so much.

No you don't. No you don't. My desktop is situated in the same room as our TV. My sister has watched that movie at least 20 times so far. And not even that. She'll rewind certain scenes and watch them up to five times each. I occasionally hear the soundtrack play through my head, now. Do yourself a favor and just don't watch it, period. There's no real obligation to do so anymore, and it kind of sucks, anyway. New Moon wasn't even that great, either. I mean, sure, if you want to count watching Taylor Lautner walk around without a shirt on as a "plus", then so be it. But for the most part, the second movie is a slow emo-fest with the occasional action scene popping up, before everyone gets reunited and happy again, but at that point the movie is already over.

"I'm going to rate you as low as possible, because I hate beggars! And if I don't have anything nice to say or do, I might as well be downright snide!" (/sarcasm) 5 for ya'. ^^

Well, what is the audience going to be doing? Clapping and singing? You aren't going to get a lot of variety out of that. I mean, audience participation sounds fun, but if a few people don't know the song well enough they could ruin the whole thing, too.

It removes the identity factor a bit and gets you to focus more on the content of the post. Of course [if you're using Firefox w/ Adblock Plus], you could always make a filter for http://www.majhost.com/gallery/* http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/* http://www.bzpower.com/forum/uploads/av-* http://www.bzpower.com/forum/style_avatars/* http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/* http://i* http://farm* And if there's any left, you could just weed those out on your own.

I'll be sharing the tree with three other people. And that was actually one of the incentive factors that made me decide to wrap these. But just watch – my sister is already planning on wrapping a few large items of her own to compete with my loot pile. Before you know it, Christmas will have turned from a cheerful and joy-spreading holiday to a money-based competition to create the largest and most valuable pile of them all. I'll make sure to wrap all twelve of my Turaga and Bohrok Va individually and stick "price tags" on everything.

Well, I think we've learned an important lesson today: Rap sucks.
